Securing Pervasive Video Services by Steve Oetegenn
Consumer awareness of multi-screen potential has grown rapidly with the proliferation of OTT services from global players such as Netflix. This awareness is creating demand for seamless access to content both inside and outside the home, independent of the device type, and impervious to geographical borders.
They want, and expect, to view content on any device, engage with friends through social apps, and search an interactive program guide—all without a frustrating authentication process. Engagement and its measurement across devices is the new TV currency. Creating and operating these new distribution methods is, however, no easy task, even for the most innovative operator.
At the Multi-network Solutions in the Real World Forum at NAB, attendees heard how operators are building their brands around consistent, high-quality user experience across devices to attract and retain engaged and loyal subscribers.

11. CA+DRM+WM = Revenue Security
The service paradigm is shifting rapidly
towards hybrid delivery
Revenue threats need to be addressed just
as uniformly as the interface to the user
Pervasive video services need a future
facing form of security management
An integrated multi-network security
approach enables the best operator and
consumer service delivery environment
